Judges have dismissed two of the three lawsuits, including a federal case led by a group of U.S. House Republicans from Pennsylvania. After two lower courts in North Carolina denied their request, the Republican National Committee is now asking the state\u2019s Supreme Court to order that the returned ballots of some overseas voters be set aside and not counted until their eligibility can be confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Bucks County, a politically purple Philadelphia suburb, received close to 1,200 mail ballot challenges against overseas voters, the largest batch out of all the counties. All of those challenges were filed about 15 minutes before last week\u2019s deadline by Pennsylvania state Sen.
